Cuttr' down undr'

[KiwiKutter]

Hey everyone from New Zealand! I though I might introduce myself and join in on this 'obsession' of ours. I've only been straight shaving for a month or two but already know I'll never go back to what the rest of the plebs use. In that time I've also started to accumulate a number of blades which I hope to restore in time (once other projects I have on the go have been completed).

So here is the line up (apologies for my poor photography skills)

5/8 'Baby' Puma


Another online purchase, 3/4 Carrick Brothers, a Scottish blade. Doing a quick search it appears that blades from that country aren't all that common. The reverse has sheffield steel (why I bought it) and ground in germany (i suppose thats where the 'Hamburg Ring' etching comes from I suppose)


3/4 'Slyde Stroke', ground in Germany, never heard of it


5/8 Dorko, should be a goodie...


My daily shaver, 11/16 Flic, found online, very nice shave


13/16 Gotta


Bengall #1 3/4 TR Cadman & Sons


Bengall #2 3/4 TR Cadman & Sons, also etched as a 'Tonsor' Razor


'The Conqueror' Wostenholm & Sons 11/6


So as you can see, all of these restoration, some have some hone wear. But pretty happy with my haul since none cost me more than the equalivent of US$20. Also have the 220/1k/4k/8k norton set, an old barbers hone, an old barbers paddle strop (made from native timber) and the strop I use. Looking forward to continuing with the hobby and learning from everyone on here.
Cheers!
